In case you missed it, the HTC U11 boasts a 12 MP f/1.7 w/ Dual Pixel, OIS, and dual tone LED flash. On paper, that's identical to what Samsung Galaxy S8 has, but DxOMark gave the HTC U11 an unprecedented top score of 90!

Top photo and video scores!

That's 1 point higher than the Google Pixel, 2 points higher than Samsung Galaxy S8 series, 3 points higher than the regular Huawei P10, and 4 points higher than the iPhone 7.

With an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 90, the HTC U11 is the highest-rated smartphone camera we have ever tested. As you’d expect from a top performer, its scores are impressive across the board. In particular, its very low noise and fast autofocus helped edge it ahead of our previous highest-scoring phone, the Google Pixel. The HTC U11 features remarkably consistent performance in a wide variety of shooting conditions, making it a great camera for most situations. In addition to excellent technical scores, its images tend to have a pleasing look, with good color rendering. Outdoor scenes are vibrant, with good detail and very low noise. Its image stabilization is also very effective, although sometimes it leaves some residual evidence of motion. Flash exposures are very even across the frame and feature good detail preservation and color rendering. The 12 Megapixel 1/2.55 inch sensor is coupled with an f/1.75 lens to achieve these results.

Other than the "squeezable gimmick" and "lack of headphone jack" there is so much to like with the new HTC U11. Interesting!
